Nominate your brigade for Recognition Badges today!
You all are amazing, inspiring rock stars that deserve arenas full of accolades and groupies. Short of being able to provide that, the Brigade Recognition team has been looking for a way to honor your work.
When developing a recognition program, we had two objectives. First, to recognize a variety of work happening across the network. Second, to facilitate Brigades being a resource for each other. To achieve these, we created eleven different recognitions, with room to grow. We also believe that by making this list public (find it here). Brigades can look to see who has done work in an area that they may be interesting in starting.
Additionally, we also have two shared beliefs: Brigades are not in competition with each other and activities should not be standardized. We come in all shapes and sizes with different goals and community needs. Not all Brigades are going to have every recognition, nor should that be a goal.
All recognition is self-nominated and mostly on the honor system. The nomination form does ask for supporting documentation; however an example of a partnership would also work. Right now, we are planning to manually look at nominations once a month but plan to automate the process in the future.
